Yep I am the same now ever since getting a 5 inch nail from the hatches,

Is this at a bike shop? surely quickfit watling tyres or any other tyre shop dont talk hourly rates. Or am I being bike naive.

ULTRASEAL.
quite simply that Is the solution.
£20 for both wheels seals punctures as they happen.
Run it in my FZ8 and don't  have any wobble or imbalance even in excess of 140 :-)

Now-sy then
I think those plug kits are just to get you hpme - or to the garage for a fix or new tyre

And that slime is the same in that to get you home. what I dont like about the slime is that you dont know that you have got a hole in your tyre that is compromising the structure. Thats what i worry about anyway

You can get puncture insurance for about 120/year, covers up to 3 replacements/year

Went out for a bit of a ride today to buy a tailpack off FuZzBoM and came back with a bit more than I intended.

Crafty Plugged it up when I got home so we'll see how good it is. I did it at 5.00 so I'll check the pressure tomorrow morning to see if it has lost any.

Sounds a lot to me - so in other words you get two tyre replacments per year as one would be the same as the cover cost.


I wonder how many of us out there with also a car seem to get more punctures in a bike than a car even when we do more mileage in a car perhaps it to do with the amount of time we are in areas that cars don't touch, even a normal riding position in  the road could be in-between the cars tyres where all the crap gets blown let alone filtering and overtaking
